on going numb

He went numb this weekend, following the old patterns of his adolescence, and felt once more the stupor and cloudiness he had for two decades lived under. It was intended to be a celebration of his hard work over the past months, and he rallied his self-esteem only by reminding himself that his lapse had been a one-time thing, a brief exploration of the old habits, and not a resumption of the old ways. Onward and forward, now, so that this lapse not collapse the whole tower. Aho.
